Geocaching started in Scotland on 15th December 2000, when user Jock Scott placed Scotland's First GCF0 on Ben More near Crianlarich, Stirlingshire.

Fifteen years later and the cache is still going strong and contains the original log book. This Golden Oldie is regarded by many as the holy grail of UK caching and every year geocachers from all over the world climb Ben More on a pilgrimage to this historic cache.

Since then, Scotland now has over 20,000 geocaches of various types. At the time Scotland's First was the 207th geocache to be placed in the world. 15 years on the cache is still going strong and is currently the 97th oldest active geocache in the world.

Held in Perth on 31st July 2010 , 1301 geocachers attended the first Mega event to be held in Scotland and the 3rd to be held in the UK.
